Abstract
B/W photo, 1930s. Written on photo: The famed equestrian monument of Andrew Jackson by Clark Mills in the New Orleans "Place d'Armes." Unveiled in 1856 in the heart of old New Orleans, this monument is the centerpiece of one of the most beautifully symmetrical architectural settings in the world. Funds for the monument were largely donated by the Baroness Pontalba, whose celebrated "first apartments" flank both sides of the square. The inscription in the base "the Union must and shall be preserved" was effaced during the Civil War and chiseled back permanently by the Federal occupant General Ben Butler. The St. Louis Cathedral faces the square with the cabildo and the Presbytere to the right and left. The other side is occupied by the Mississippi river. The square was laid out when New Orleans was founded by Bienville in 1718.
